Duo Dalùna - Over the Rim of the Moon: I. The Ships of Arcady

Thro' the faintest filigree,
Over the dim waters go,
Little ships of Arcady,
When the morning moon is low.
I can hear the sailors' song
From the blue edge of the sea,
Passing like the lights along
Thro' the dusky filigree.
Then where moon and waters
meet
Sail by sail they pass away,
With little friendly winds replete
Blowing from the breaking day.
And when the little ships
have flown,
Dreaming still of Arcady
I look across the waves, alone
In the misty filigree.
Thro' the faintest filigree,
Over the dim waters go,
Little ships of Arcady,
When the morning moon is low.
